How do you fully winterize a house?

• <div><p>Complete house winterization goes above and beyond the list we created above. In addition to everything listed, full house winterization also includes:</p><ul><li><p>Performing a home energy audit.</p></li><li><p>Preparing your deck and patio for winter.</p></li><li><p>Learning <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-start-snowblower.htm">how to start a snowblower</a>.</p></li><li><p>Replacing smoke detector batteries.</p></li><li><p>Installing outlet gaskets.</p></li><li><p>Installing storm doors. </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

How much should you pay a roofer upfront?

• <div><p>Ideally, you shouldn’t <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-pay-roofing-contractor-front.htm">pay your roofer upfront</a> unless you’re special-ordering materials. However, anything between 10% and 15% of the project’s cost is reasonable to pay upfront. Avoid making a final payment until after the roof gets completed.</p></div>

Q: What kind of roof is popular on a Cape Cod style house?

• <div><p>A gable roof with steep pitches covered in asphalt shingles or wood shakes is the most popular roof for Cape Cod homes. Asphalt shingles started gaining popularity in the early 1900s, so wood shake roofs, which were popular in the 1700s when Cape Cod homes were first built, are the traditional option. You can further modernize your Cape Cod home by raising the roof in the front, back, or both to add living space and change up the traditional single-gable roof with doghouse dormers. </p></div>

Q: Can you put new roof underlayment over old underlayment?

• <div><p>You shouldn&rsquo;t put a new roof underlayment over an old one for a few reasons. Old felt must be removed in order to assess the condition of your roof decking, such as rotting wood or other structural issues. Also, if your roofer doesn't install a fresh layer of felt as is required by shingle manufacturers, your warranty may be voided. Finally, old underlayment removal is often included in the cost of roof repair or replacement, so there's no real benefit to leaving it on before installing a new layer.</p></div>

Q: What is the golden ratio for roof pitch?

• <div><p>The golden ratio for roof pitch is 1:1.62. It&rsquo;s simply a standard aspect ratio that home and building designers and architects use when deciding how steep a roof should be to maintain visual appeal. The golden ratio can apply to any home or structure with a visible roof that isn't considered a flat roof. </p></div>

Q: How much should you pay a roofer upfront?

• <div><p>Ideally, you shouldn&rsquo;t <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-pay-roofing-contractor-front.htm">pay your roofer upfront</a> unless you&rsquo;re special-ordering materials. However, anything between 10% and 15% of the project&rsquo;s cost is reasonable to pay upfront. Avoid making a final payment until after the roof gets completed.</p></div>

These guys are great! Even though they found my chimney was too bad to burn anymore, they gave me several options on getting it repaired. No more fires until the repair but at least I didnâ t burn my house down l! Thanks again guys!!

My experience was great. The work was done timely and cleaned up after themselves. They told me upfront the job would be difficult and they might not be able to get the concrete back to original level. They did great. It is not 100% but I was able to see why. During the process of working...

I have used the company for about 5 years. Fred knows his stuff and does great work. We live in a log cabin so it is important to make sure the chimney is clean. The pricing is reasonable for what he does. He always shows up when he says he will and is great with the cleanup after the job. He...

"I am sure that all positive reviews for this company are fake. Nothing that was promised to me was delivered. My siding project is still ongoing for over 1 month. Was told that it would be done in week. Had one rain day. They have system like this: 1) sales person who never installed anything he will promise you things that obviously are not true, 2) crew that is subcontracted but not Gunner, mine was driving for over 2 hours away, 3) person who oversees the project but has little control over anything, no supply, doesn't know the crew, crew does not listen to him, main office does not listen to him, 4) main office does not reply to you. They just tell me to talk to project manager who has no control. So you understand that if there are any issue you are on your own. Quality or work is not good. Many times I had to point to the crew what's wrong, planks are broken yet they were still installing it, caulking is done they way that I can do it better, they cut wires to awning etc"
